Retrospective cohort study with analysis of the data of patients who were referred to two private hospitals in Sao Paulo, Brazil for surgical repair of the rotator cuff from January 2018 to September ...
Data from 362 patients were analyzed. The mean patient age was 57 years (SD= 10.46), with a slight male predominance (53.9%). Arthroscopic procedures were more common than open procedures (95.6% versu...
Rotator cuff repair surgery is a highly effective procedure, associated with favorable clinical outcomes and improvement in life quality, and low rates of complications. Arthroscopic surgery tends to ...
Detection of rotator cuff tears, a common cause of shoulder disability, can be time-consuming and subject to reader variability. Deep learning (DL) has the potential to increase radiologist accuracy a...
The aim of this study was to develop a prototype DL model for detection and classification of rotator cuff tears on shoulder magnetic resonance imaging into no tear, partial-thickness tear, or full-th...
This Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act-compliant, institutional review board-approved study included a total of 11,925 noncontrast shoulder magnetic resonance imaging scans from 2 in...
The AUC overall for supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and subscapularis tendon tears was 0.93, 0.89, and 0.90, respectively. The model performed best for full-thickness supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and s...
Deep learning diagnosis of rotator cuff tears is feasible with excellent diagnostic performance, particularly for full-thickness tears, with model accuracy similar to subspecialty-trained musculoskele...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of diagnosing delaminated tears and ultrasonic characteristics on real-time dynamic ultrasound....
We enrolled 143 consecutive patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair between April 2020 and January 2021. All patients were examined using real-time dynamic ultrasound of the shoulder w...
Of the 143 patients, 47 (32.9%) had delaminated tears as confirmed by arthroscopy; 35 of these tears involved the supraspinatus tendon and 12 involved both supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons. Rea...
Real-time dynamic ultrasound can be practically used for diagnosing delamination of rotator cuff tears with medium sensitivity and high specificity. Anechoic horizontal linear splitting of tendon, une...
Rotator cuff disease is a common cause of musculoskeletal pain and disability, and the management can be challenging. Joint denervation emerges as a new technique, but the literature on shoulder neura...
Four patients with a history of rotator cuff disease refractory to conservative therapy and not amenable to surgery underwent a ultrasound-guided cryoablation of the capsular branches of the shoulder ...
All four patients experienced at least 60% pain relief with improvement in function for 6-12 months following the procedure without any clinical evidence of motor impairment. No adverse effect was obs...
Based on the current understanding of the glenohumeral joint articular branches and their relationship to the bony landmark, targeting the articular branches only was feasible and led to good outcomes...
Rotator cuff tears represent a significant cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction in the United States. The development of these injuries is associated with older patient age and higher levels of phys...
The purpose of this study was to report short term outcomes and return to work rates after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in a cohort of patients aged 50 to 60 years working in manual labor jobs. It...
Case series; Level of evidence, 4....
Preoperative and final evaluations including the pain visual analog scale (VAS), the Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), and the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Shoulder Score wer...
After arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, 43 of 48 patients (89.6%) were able to return to manual labor positions. Tears were classified using the Southern California Orthopaedic Institute Classificatio...
Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair portended favorable outcomes and high rates of return to work in this cohort of manual laborers, with 89.6% of patients able to return to work....
There is a phenomenon in which the tendon appears to increase the length after rotator cuff repair. However, it is unclear in which cases tendon lengthening occurs and how the degree of lengthening af...
We reviewed 109 patients with good repair integrity after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Patients whose supraspinatus tendons were simply pulled out laterally without any additional procedures were...
The preoperative tendon retraction significantly correlated with the MTJ location (r = -0.75; P < .0001) and preoperative tendon length (r = -0.46; P < .0001). The tendon length at 3, 6, and 24 months...
Tendon lengthening and lateral shift of MTJ location were observed after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, and they correlated with preoperative tendon retraction. Although the amount of tendon length...
The aim of this study is to investigate the potential relationship between shoulder anatomical parameters and the shape of rotator cuff tears (L-shaped, U-shaped, and crescent-shaped)....
The study included 160 (n:160) patients. Patients were divided into four groups: crescent type, u type and L type tears and control group. There were 40 cases in each group. The operated patients were...
Patients were divided into four different groups: Crescent type group (n:40), L type group (n:40), U type group (n:40) and control group (n:40). Upon assessing the coronal and sagittal width measureme...
In our study, especially in L-shaped tears, measurements of GTA, CSA, AI, LAA, coronal and sagittal width were found to be different compared to the control group. These results suggest that shoulder ...
This review delves into the intersection of two prevalent conditions, hyperlipidemia and rotator cuff injuries, both of which bear substantial healthcare burdens. Our investigation begins with an expl...
» Secondary rotator cuff insufficiency is a challenging complication after anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty.» Acute tears may be amenable to open or arthroscopic repair in some instances.» Chronic...
Physically-demanding occupations may increase rotator cuff disease (RCD) risk and need for surgery. We linked a job-exposure matrix (JEM) to the UK Biobank cohort study to measure physical occupationa...
Jobs and UK Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes were recorded during the UK Biobank verbal interview. Lifetime job histories were captured through a web-based survey. UK SOC codes were li...
Of 277 808 people reporting jobs, 1997 (0.7%) had an inpatient RCD surgery. After adjusting for age, sex, race, education, area deprivation, and body mass index, all O*NET variables considered were as...
Workplace physical demands are an important risk factor for RCD surgery, particularly for workers with more than a decade of exposure....
